Thank you SO much. You have made this much easier. It's cool too that the Major 7th (0-4-7-11) with the 11 being the sum of the 4 & the 7 and the minor 7th (0-3-7-10) with the 10 as sum of the 3 & the 7. Thanks again! Great stuff.
This is by far the BEST explanation I have seen for building chords without knowing much theory at all, this will definitely help with anyone's production and creativity flow, including myself, thanks for putting the effort into making this video!
Thank you. In 24 minutes you just simplified and taught me what I could never learn in years of dabbling with music theory learning. We all have different ways of understanding, and this way just clicks for me. I am looking forward to the rest of the videos.
Oh man! Basic chords are that simple? Here I was thinking I needed to be trained in classical piano or something, just to learn chords. I can't wait to try this out. Thanks Busy Works Beats!
I started making beats a month ago because of my brother. He has been at it for 3 years and is fairly knowledgeable on FL 11. But truthfully once I began to learn off youtube videos and found Busy Works Beats TV, like many others who follow you, I began to actually learn exponentially may I say. That being said, I just wanna thank Busy Beat Works TV for being a great source of information. You definitely teach in a very clear and concise way, making it short and sweet for those who actually wanna learn. You guys are awesome and you got me as a follower all the way. I will definitely be supporting you by watching your videos and buying your products. Keep up the awesome work guys, you guys are great. Cheers!
Why has it taken me this long to find the solution to such a simple problem? Thank you so much, this makes more sense than any other tutorial I've seen.
to be honest your voice really helps with this brotha, i appreciate you for doing this. whats great is u make it easier for people to use a easier DAW like FL studio
Excellent teaching...in fact, it's what the music professors at Shoreline Community College (SCC) in Shoreline WA (I'm studying Electronic MIDI Music Production there) suggested we do. Therefore, I can attest that knowing and playing the intervals that make up chords (in SCCs Classic Music Theory--diatonic chords) on the piano is the way to go! Especilaly for me since I hanve no ear training and cannot distinguished intervals--your chord numbering systems for intervals was a great help to amplify my understanding of how to quickly form the numerous chords of the different modes in music; most important, how to use them in chord progressions. I'm now able to easily pick out the chord(s) based on your interval numbering system, which is a huge improvement from where I started (having to memorized the Major and minor chords). Although music theory was new to me...my interest in music is from quasi-DJing and beat-matching records, LPs and now (after a 20-year layoff) mixing and beat-matching MP3s files. I enrolled in SCCs Electronic MIDI Music Production AAAS degree program because it was the closes degree to DJing that I could get because I haven't found a college that awards a degree in DJing. Albeit, I have to say I really enjoyed Intro to Music, and Music Theory I and II. Most important, I learnt Classical Choral Four-part Voice Leading (SATB), how to harmonize a melody, and how to write counterpoint bass lines to melodies too. And now thinks to your free RUclips videos, I know the different between Classical Four-part Voice Leading and Popular "Piano" Voice Leading, which has mead leaning to play the piano easier for the reasons you stated in demonstrated in your videos. So, once again, great job and I'm looking forward to gleaning more from you. DJ Nivekone, aka Kevin
An interval is not the same thing as a semitone. An interval is simply between two completely random notes, it can be a minor second (=semitone), a major third, a minor ninth or even a major 78th for that matter.
I never really understood chords by just looking at a piano and a teacher explain me with his hands like "oh this is minor and this is major". But with those numbers like 0-4-7 i finally understand. Very nice video :)
I learnt basic music theory in high school...but found it confusing when it came to more complicated chord structure as it was never really explained to me in a way that made sense. I always viewed chords in a similar fashion to yourself and wondered why they made it so complicated. Numbers...mathematics..the true universal language explains everything. Well done on breaking through the barrier of complication that surrounds music theory and getting back to it's true form. You are helping many people to express themselves through their own use of music by giving them true understanding.
Busy Works Beats .TV yo man Im literally teaching my self piano (producing/mixing etc.) from the lowest level and this is easily one of the most helpful videos Ive seen!!!! thank you cant wait to share my production and progress!!!
Gameking you are just amazing! I love Busy Works Beats! I would have never thought that it was this easy! Now my production will be sped up and it will be easier to come up with melodies faster! I'm definitely buying Music Theory In A Day along with your other products. Thank you!
man, you're the best teacher, thats why i mess with your lessons so heavily! you've taught me more in a month than i've learned messing with music for a year! thanks for that! you're the man!
Half way and I subscribed, keep it up dude, Ive studied for years music theory to learn how to play violin, now i am playing with FL studio and it was time to finally learn piano, with this tutorial just made things easier. Now it is time to practise. Thanks a lot! simple and easy technic
pretty sure you just opened the door for me I been tryna get it for a while now... nice man Im considering paying for your music theory course honestly..
I just ran from a 18- early 20's something here on youtube teaching music theory/ music production etc. and FL. Thank you for your info and teaching....without the ironic and trendy bs jokes, and ADHD turret syndrome behavior etc. Okay so there's still hope for the current generation with people like you I'm guessing you went/is going to school for music
This is very helpful, especially to those who have little theory knowledge like myself who prefers producing and playing by ear over reading sheet music, the code system is really easy and fun to learn. Thanks!
I like your style of teaching,you keep it simple but informative and the way you explain it followed by samples makes it easy for me to understand.From the moment you begin to speak i began to learn.I've tried to learn with other videos but i easily got bored or it look to hard when is really not.Is all in the way you teach that makes me stick to your videos.Thanks Bro...hey do you have teach Guitar lessons?
Busy Works Beats .TV I second this opinion, the way you speak is captivating for some reason. I've learnt ALOT from your videos so far. As a person who had zero knowledge on these basics I now understand this video in it's entirety, and I aced the test at the end lol feels awesome!!! Keep it up dude. Seriously considering the music in a day course at this point.
INTEGER NOTATION - These are exactly the patterns I have been looking for. without knowing that I have been looking for them. I play guitar and the 1-3-5 system of creating chords based on separate scales is hard to remember thus adapt. Thanks.
Can you please post this powerpoint in the description, I even toke notes over this, but it would be more helpful to have the powerpoint. Thank You for posting this video!
truly grateful for this video i now know what i never understood ... now whats next chord progressions ? ...is there a video already if not hope u make one soon !!! anyways thank you !!
Wow, after watching this I've realized I taught myself integer notation. I just never knew there was a name for it or that it was something anyone else did.
This is amazing love! but your 0 should be a 1 .... Herbie Hancock classic chords - L.H. 1, 5, 9 then up a semitone R. H 1, 5, 9 or L.H. C,G, D R.H Eb, Bb, F blessings to you ..... This truly is done extremely well but fix that 0 to a 1 pulllllllease! lol

As a Graduate of IPR in Minneapolis, and Dubspot, your videos are easily on par with any level of instruction i've received in a "major" school.

Busy Works Beats .TV
How about playing guitar on keyboard like for instance how do you strum on keys
You can use the strum tool in the piano roll to emulate a strum effect. Open the Piano Roll, Go to Tools (wrench icon), choose strum tool
